Mechanisms of Multi-strain Coexistence in Host-Phage Systems with Nested Infection Networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Bacteria and their viruses ("bacteriophages") coexist in natural environments forming complex infection networks. Recent empirical findings suggest that phage-bacteria infection networks often possess a nested structure such that there is a hierarchical relationship among who can infect whom.

Multiple species animal movements: network properties, disease dynamic and the impact of targeted control actions [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Infectious diseases in livestock are well-known to infect multiple hosts and persist through the combination of within- and between-host transmission pathways. Uncertainty remains about the epidemic consequences of the disease being introduced on farms with more than one susceptible host.

On a cross-diffusive SIS epidemic model with power-like nonlinear incidence [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 In this work, we study global existence, boundedness and convergence of nonnegative classical solutions of a Neumann initial-boundary value problem for a cross diffusive SIS (susceptible-infected-susceptible) epidemic model with power-like infection mechanism generalizing the standard mass action mechanism. Global existence and boundedness of classical

Controversies in cross-infection control [PDF]
British Dental Journal, 1993 The following article is intended to question certain procedures designed to prevent cross-infection. It is the first of a series of occasional articles describing new techniques, research, and new products, which it is hoped, may enable dental practitioners to update their knowledge of this rapidly changing subject.

Sequential infection experiments for quantifying innate and adaptive immunity during influenza infection [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Laboratory models are often used to understand the interaction of related pathogens via host immunity. For example, recent experiments where ferrets were exposed to two influenza strains within a short period of time have shown how the effects of cross-immunity vary with the time between exposures and the specific strains used.

Infection severity across scales in multi-strain immuno-epidemiological Dengue model structured by host antibody level [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Infection by distinct Dengue virus serotypes and host immunity are intricately linked. In particular, certain levels of cross-reactive antibodies in the host may actually enhance infection severity leading to Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The coupled immunological and epidemiological dynamics of Dengue calls for a multi-scale modeling approach.

Encefalopatías espongiformes transmisibles Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies
Salud Pública de México, 2002 Las encefalopatías espongiformes transmisibles (EET) han cobrado gran importancia en los últimos años. Principalmente por el surgimiento de la encefalopatía espongiforme del bovino (EEB) y la nueva variante de la ermedad de Creutzfeldt-Jakob (nvECJ ...
